Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 cup instant rice, cooked according to package directions
2 cups diced roasted pork loin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1 cup chopped arugula leaves
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup diced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
6 burrito-size flour tortillas, regular or flavored

Directions

Coat a stove-top griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat.

In a large bowl, combine rice, pork, beans, arugula, cheese, and tomatoes. Mix well to combine.

Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Top 1 side of the tortillas with pork mixture. Fold the other side over to cover filling. Transfer quesadillas to hot pan and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese melts. Serve with orange salsa.

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped scallions
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this recipe was fabulous, but I added some queso fresco and cheddar cheese for a gooey-er version, as well as a can... of corn. In the end, I had a bunch left over and froze it in pre-portioned bags to make even quicker meals for the future! They worked wonderfully out of the freezer, and I had 3 meals for the work of one in the end.Read more

Easy and Wonderful and Versatile
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is great! Last week, I made it with the leftover porkloin. My family loved it! This week, I used leftover rice... from last night's dinner and made a vegetarian version. The orange salsa is the key. It is so good and pairs with the quesadilla perfectly. I would highly recommend making a double batch of the salsa, as everyone will want more of it.Read more
